Jrel you aren't doing anything wrong. It's a bug. It's been reported by Secret HQ and myself more than once. The best I can tell you is clear your cache, history etc close Maxthon, reopen Maxthon thenopen Favorites Manager from the right hand menu. It will take some time to populate (it always does the first time in a session). Subsequent openings are practically instantaneous. Use the same method for the Side Bar Favorites Starbutton. It takes time to populate the first time it's used in a session.
